  1. Our lake in WH is the highest it has been in 48 years. It was abnormally high before the storm.
  2. Thanks. So far ok in Winter Haven. Haven’t lost power, boat doing ok in boathouse. Eye still approaching sp we haven’t seen the worst of it. Flooding will be incredible.
  3. Low cost. Convenient and safe. Teenagers can hang out all day and have a blast.
  4. Cable skiing is fun but strange. No wake. The rope pulls up. The pull is not solid since the cable sways a bit from side to side. You have to ski to the outside of fixed turns or you lose speed. Dock starts are at right angles, not straight ahead. Got to try it at least once. Will never replace a boat in my opinion.
  5. Kyle always does a good job. The tournament was well run. Kudos.
  6. After Regina crashed, she pointed down course and the boat went back and picked up a wad of weeds that I had seen floating around earlier. I thought she was going to ask for a reride but apparently did not. The lake has a lot of eel grass or some such in it.
  7. I was finally able to look at your picture. Your position is fine, it just needs to pivot forward at the ankles so that you are squatting directly on top of your binders. All those who have chimed in are basically saving the same thing.
  8. You said you were able to “plane up.” What is your bony position once you get on plane?
  9. You can post a picture. Check out the picture icon above the comment box.
  10. Don’t stand up too soon. I agree with @Clydesdale. Stay in a squat then rock forward onto the balls of your feet. If you have enough strength to rise from a squat on land, should be able to do it on the water.
  11. A shout out also to Eric Lee who placed second in 65+. Also winning gold in tricks were Janie Fausold 65+ and my pal Leza Harrison 70+.
  12. Steve is a great guy and I’m proud to call him a friend. I’m so glad he won. Old farts rule.
  13. Yes. A tire breakwater which was the subject of a recent post. Cypress Gardens used the same technique.
  14. I doubt seriously that gars are the problem. We have them in our lake and the only damage to buoys comes from two legged mammals.
  15. I’m curious. How do you know that gars are the problem?
  16. The screw bonded to the insert. I had to twist the entire plate and the insert with it to remove the binder. I ruined the insert trying to get the screw out.
  17. I demoed the one I posted above and I like it a lot. I’m probably going to buy it.
  18. Many of the older, less expensive skis are fine for beginners.
  19. Reverse must immediately follow the basic trick except in the case of a trick like a wake 540 in which case a 180 can be performed before the reverse.
